You can still use it. However what I don't like about it is that you 
need to run  as root to actually use PAM. Otherwise the process can only 
authenticate its (effective?) user.

So I switched to LDAP - and would like to see sasld being supported, but 
so far it's not wrapped I haven't found the time to do it myself.
